Colorado Bans Vegetarian Woman's "Tofu" License Plate Request

How offensive can this woman's proposed license plate be if the Colorado Department of Revenue official being interviewed is on the verge of laughter at the possible alternative reading of ILVTOFU? (In CNN's cut of the same video, the official actually breaks out in laughter.)

I should submit an application to the Virginia DMV seeking a license plate that reads, LOVE69, in reference (obviously!) to the year of my birth and of the occurence of major historical events, including the first successful moon landing, Woodstock, and the Stonewall Riots in New York City, which launched the modern gay rights movement.

I would love to see the faces of Virginia DMV officials upon receipt of my application!
